The Real Cost

Regular Couriers Are Built for Documents — Not Your ₹50 Lakh Gems and Jewellery Parcel

Most Indian B2B owners try a normal courier at least once for a jewellery or bullion shipment. Everything goes fine — until the day it doesn't. A parcel is misrouted, damaged, or simply disappears. Couriers are built for documents, furniture, samples and clothes. The moment your parcel contains gold, diamonds, bullion or cash — the entire risk profile changes.

A courier is a taxi. Secure logistics is an armoured van with a trained guard. Both move things from A to B — but they are not doing the same job. BVC has only ever done one job: moving valuables, safely.

The Full Process

How to Decide and Ship — 6 Simple Steps

Sit for two minutes, answer these six questions in order, and you'll know exactly which service you need.

  1. Step 1

    Check the Goods Of the parcel

    Are you shipping gold, diamonds, silver, bullion, loose stones, luxury watches and high-value art? If yes, lean towards BVC's secure logistics. If it's a ₹500 costume-jewellery sample or a catalogue, a courier is fine.

  2. Step 2

    Check the insurance you actually need

    Ask: "If this parcel is lost, who pays the full value back to me?" If the courier's maximum payout is ₹10,000 but your goods are ₹10 lakh, you are carrying the risk of ₹9.9 lakh yourself. BVC's Secure logistics covers the full declared value of your high value goods.

  3. Step 3

    Book the Shipment With BVC

    Once you book shipment with BVC with origin, destination, value and timeline, our team confirms the route, declared value, insurance cover and pickup window.

    Tip: Always declare the true value of your goods. Under-declaring to save a few rupees can reduce your payout if something goes wrong

  4. Step 4

    BVC arrives, verifies, seals and assigns a unique parcel ID

    A trained, background-verified BVC team checks your invoice, counts the parcels, applies tamper-evident seals and assigns a unique BVC ID — recorded in our system before the parcel leaves your premises.

  5. Step 5

    Secure Movement

    The shipment moves on a sealed, GPS-tracked vehicle on a pre-planned route. Your office knows status, and milestone alerts go out to both sender and receiver automatically.

  6. Step 6

    Authorised Handover With Proof

    At delivery, the BVC partner verifies an OTP shared with the receiver, checks ID, and releases the parcel only to the named person. The POD is captured digitally — and instant alerts land with both sender and receiver.

Ship Right

Choose BVC To Ship High-Value Goods

Choosing between a courier and secure logistics comes down to what you're shipping and the risk you're willing to take. For documents and low-value parcels, a regular courier works. But for jewellery, bullion, and high-value goods, the cost of a mistake is far higher than the cost of doing it right.

Secure logistics ensures your shipment is insured, verified, tracked, and handed over safely — without gaps in accountability. With BVC, every step is controlled, so your goods move securely from pickup to delivery.
